World Congress on Ecological Agriculture, Biodiversity & Public Health on December 09-11, 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal

Topics

All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields:

1. Ecological Agriculture (Eco-Ag)

This field focuses on agricultural systems that mimic natural processes to minimize environmental impact.

Regenerative Practices

No-till farming and soil carbon sequestration.

Cover cropping and green manures.

Crop rotation and intercropping.

Alternative Farming Systems

Agroforestry (integrating trees with crops/livestock).

Permaculture design and ethics.

Organic farming standards and certification.

Resource Management

Closed-loop nutrient cycling.

Ecological pest management (biocontrol vs. synthetic pesticides).

Water harvesting and precision irrigation.

2. Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

This explores the variety of life and the "free" services nature provides to sustain farming and human life.

Genetic Diversity

Agrobiodiversity: Heirloom seeds and heritage livestock breeds.

Crop wild relatives (CWR) and climate resilience.

Seed banks and germplasm conservation.

Functional Biodiversity

Pollinator health (bees, butterflies, and bats).

Soil microbiome diversity (mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria).

Natural predators for pest regulation.

Ecosystem Stability

Habitat fragmentation and wildlife corridors.

Resilience against invasive species.

Wetland restoration for flood control and water purification.

3. Public Health and Nutrition

This focuses on how the quality of our environment and food systems dictates community well-being.

Nutritional Quality

Micronutrient density in soil-grown vs. hydroponic food.

The "dilution effect" (lower nutrients in high-yield industrial crops).

Food security vs. Food sovereignty.

Environmental Health Risks

Pesticide exposure and endocrine disruption.

Antibiotic resistance (linked to industrial concentrated animal feeding operations).

Waterborne diseases from agricultural runoff (nitrates and pathogens).

Epidemiology and Zoonotics

Land-use change and the spillover of viruses from wildlife to humans.

The impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases (malaria, Lyme disease).

4. Interrelated Cross-Over Topics

These topics sit at the intersection of all three categories and are where the most critical modern research is happening.

A. The Soil-Human Gut Axis

Connection: The diversity of microbes in the soil directly influences the microbes on our food, which in turn shapes the human gut microbiome and immune system.

B. Climate Change Mitigation

Connection: Ecological agriculture increases biodiversity, which sequesters carbon, thereby reducing extreme weather events that threaten public health (heatwaves, crop failures).

C. Sustainable Diets and Planetary Health

Connection: Shifting toward plant-heavy, biodiverse diets reduces the land-use pressure of industrial meat, protecting wild habitats and reducing the prevalence of lifestyle diseases (diabetes, heart disease).

D. Socio-Economic Resilience

Connection: Small-scale ecological farming supports local economies and provides "social safety nets" through diverse food sources, reducing the public health burden of poverty.

E. Policy and Governance

Connection: One Health legislation, "Farm to Fork" strategies, and the integration of environmental protection into healthcare spending.
